Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 27', 1906.

Application filed April 27, 1905. Serial No. 257,729

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN CRAMER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Lima,'in the county of Allen and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in curtain-fixtures, and particularly to a fixture of the combination type adaptedfor supporting a curtain-shade roller and curtainpole, the object of the invention being to provide a device of this nature which is simple of construction, efficient in use, and comparatively inexpensive of production, and also readily adjustable to accommodate shaderollers and curtain-poles of different lengths.

In the drawings hereto annexed and forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a view in elevation, showing the application of the invention to a window-frame. Figs. 2 and-3 are perspective views of the combination shade-roller-supporting fixtures and the curtain-pole brackets carried thereby. Fig. 4 is a sectional view through the keepersocket of one of the shade-roller brackets, showing a curtain-pole bracket fitted therein. Fig. 5 is a detail view of a portion of oneof the brackets, showing the construction of the keeper-socket.

In carrying my invention into practice I provide companion fixtures 1 and 2, adapted for application to opposite sides of the window-frame and each comprising a body-plate 3, provided with a longitudinal slot 4 for the passage of screws or other suitable fastenings 5 to adjustably secure the same to the frame, the slots 4 permitting of the adjustment of the fixtures 1 and 2 toward and from one another by simply slacking the screws 5 to adapt them to receive curtain-shade rollers and curtain-poles of different lengths. The bodyplate 3 is bent at its outer end to form a right-angularly projecting arm 5, which is rebent at its outer end outwardly and laterally therefrom and then doubled upon itself to form a keeper-socket 6.

The two fixtures 1 and 2 are similar in construction in all respects, except that the arm 5 of the fixture 1 is provided with a notch 7 to receive the polygonal end of the springshaft of the shade roller, while the corresponding arm of the fixture 2 is provided with a bearing-opening 8 to receive the journal upon the opposite end of the shade-roller. The sockets 6 of the two fixtures support the curtain-pole brackets 9, each of which consists of a strip of metal having one end bent to form a pole-receiving hook or loop 10. The other end of the pole-bracket is bent to form a tongue 11 to enter the socket 6 and a shoulder 12 to rest upon the forward wall of said socket. This construction provides a polebracket which is detachable and may be quickly and conveniently applied to and removed from the shade-roller-supporting fixture.

The improved combination-fixtures may be inexpensively manufactured and readily attached to a window-frame and adjusted without marring the frame to accommodate rollers and poles of different lengths, as will be readily understood.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. A combination fixture comprising a slotted body-plate bent at one end toform an arm having an aperture therein and rebent to form a keeper portion and a pole-supporting bracket comprising a strip bent to form a tongue for connection with said supporting portion, and a shoulder to rest thereon.

2. A combination fixture comprising a slotted body-plate bent at one end to form an arm having an aperture therein and rebent to form a keeper portion, said keeper portion being folded upon itself to form a socket, and a pole-supporting brackethaving a tongue to enter said socket and a shoulder to rest thereon.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN ORAMER.
